ICTP, Trieste In the semiclassical limit the spectral properties of classically chaotic Hamiltonian are universally described by random matrix theory. With the help of the one parameter scaling theory we propose an alternative characterization of this universality class. It is also identified the universality class associated to the metal-insulator transition. In low dimensions it is characterized by classical superdiffusion. In higher dimensions it has in general a quantum origin as in the case of disordered systems. Systems in this universality class include: kicked rotors with certain classical singularities, polygonal and Coulomb billiards and the Harper model.

Experiments and 3D Anderson transitionExperiments and 3D Anderson transition

Our findings for the 3D kicked rotor at kc and 1D with log singularities may be used to test experimentally the Anderson transition by using ultracold atoms techniques (Raizen).

One places a dilute sample of ultracold Na/Cs in a periodic step-like standing wave which is pulsed in time to approximate a delta function then the atom momentum distribution is measured.

The classical singularity cannot be reproduced in the lab. However (AGG W Jiao 2006) an approximate singularity will still show
